What makes this year's festival even more extraordinary is its collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund for Earth Hour. On Saturday, March 23rd, at 8:30 pm, Zagreb will unite with cities worldwide to symbolize environmental stewardship. For 15 minutes, all lights will be extinguished, underscoring our shared commitment to protecting our planet for future generations.
